How does the Peace Corps further a future teacher's career?
I'm a university student currently working towards obtaining a Major in History and social studies endorsement, as well as a Master's in Teaching. Ultimately I would like to teach high school students courses like political science, history, and the sort (Particularly AP courses). However, I also have plans to join the Peace Cops after I finish my Master's program. That way, I can not only become more informed about the world through travel, but also get experience beyond student-teaching and with different types of subjects and age ranges. I want to participate in the "Teaching English as a Second Language" program. Has anyone had experience in the Peace Crop who could give me an idea of what it's like, and whether it helped them in a future education-based career? I appreciate the time! #GivingisCaring #PeaceCorps #Teacher

Has anyone done their loan forgiveness through the Peace Corps?
I want to focus on water conservation and preservation while I am in school. After I graduate, I have been thinking about joining the peace corps for loan forgiveness program. Has anyone taken this route for forgiveness, and if so how was your experience? Do you have any pointers? #peacecorps #loanforgiveness #loan #finance #money #paying-for-college #student-loans #loans
